SFYR Blog!

So we got hacked again by the open minded and tolerant folks here in San Francisco. As we attempt to come up with a long term fix to the problem, we have re-booted a simplier version of the blog. Thank you for your patience as we fix our website issues, but the basic functions of the site are back, including the ability to join the group online. Enjoy!

The San Francisco Young Republicans has endorsed Ron Nehring for Chair of the California Republican Party and Thomas Del Becarro for Vice-Chair of the California Republican Party.

“Ron and Tom are the clear choice to lead Republicans to victory in 2010,” commented SFYR President Ed Sheppard. “With so many people focused only on the national level, they understand the importance of winning at a state and local level and building a strong Republican base in California.”

If you have further questions regarding SFYR endorsements, please contact SFYR Issues Director Alisa Farenzena at issues@sfyr.org.
